TK-743[501st] Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) I thought I would post some pictures from my Halloween wedding, yes it was actually on Oct. 31st and everyone, including the preacher, was in costume. It turned out great, exactly what we wanted it to be: Fun! We didn't want anything fancy or formal and we kept it pretty small, only about 35 guests. We had it in a small chapel in the beautiful TN Mountains. I am wearing my Sandtrooper armor and my wife was in a 60's style Star Trek costume that she made herself (notice the Tribble in the center of her bouquet). I am not wearing my gloves because I had to keep taking them off for the ring exchange, pics, etc so I just left them off. I also left off my shoulder ammo pouch accidently, needless to say I was a little nervous and I was rushing to get dressed, ha. I know what you are thinking, someone in a Star Wars costume marrying someone in a Star Trek costume??!! We were hoping the universe wouldn't collapse or something, but it all turned out OK, we thought it was hilarious and we had a great time. For the reception I changed into something a little more comfortable, Capt. Hammer from Dr. Horrible. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

tkrestonva[TK] Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I have to ask - what was the preacher wearing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Great pics! I love the Rocky Horror party attendee!!! The wedding I attended last month was a mix of Star Trek as well, only 501st were in attendance but the decorative themes had the smell of Trekkie on it LoL!

TK-743[501st] Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 The preacher was wearing a funny little hat, I will try to post some more pics soon. I didn't keep my helmet on while we exchanged the vows, I just didn't feel right about doing that, plus its harder to kiss the bride, ha. I did put it back on at the very end and we walked out to "The Imperial March" music blasting, it was awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigger68[501st] Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Great pictures! The setting looked fabulous, and it looked like everyone was having a good time. Well, since the universe didn't end, I suppose a Star Wars/Trek marriage isn't the worst thing that could happen. Everyone looks like they are having a good time. How fun is it to be married on Halloween? (My favorite holiday BTW.) Look forward to seeing more pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zsavk[TK] Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 That is the best! Weddings should be fun and tailored for what the couple wants. Its great that you and your wife share a common interest and love for Sci-fi and costuming. I bet everyone had a blast and even the non believers probably went home realizing just how much fun they had. And they will always remember you and your special day as something truly unique.
